There were a variety of support acts on before Zak himself; each one as talented as the next. The night kicked off with Noah Clouds’ short acoustic set; his powerful voice and intricate fingerpicking grabbed the attention of everyone in the room and was the perfect start to the show.

Next were boy-girl duo Finch and the Moon who played a number of original songs from their EP ‘From Sea to Sand’. The folk-inspired tracks showcased their impressive ability to harmonise with each other.

Lastly, Chris Helme came on and delivered a touching set dedicated to his father; it comprised of various originals as well as a cover of The Faces Ooh La La,which was a definite crowd-pleaser. The audience were equally impressed when his bandmate treated them to a guitar slide using a Budweiser bottle – they proved to be the perfect lead up to the headliner.
